This momentous decision was announced following a high-level meeting between His Excellency Hun Manet, Cambodia’s Prime Minister, and Mr. Wang Bo, Chairman of the Board of CMEC, held during the “Third Belt and Road Forum” in Beijing.

During the meeting, Mr. Wang Bo articulated CMEC’s ambitious vision, declaring their intention to embark on a substantial ten-year journey of collaboration with two prominent Cambodian companies, pooling resources and expertise to propel Cambodia’s gas energy sector to new heights.
